Joining the STEM Mentorship program by FUES was a turning point in my life. When I was in Form Four, I had the passion for science but lacked proper guidance on how to navigate my career path. Through the mentorship program, I gained invaluable insights into STEM fields, career opportunities, and the confidence to pursue my dreams.

The mentorship sessions, career guidance, and exposure to real-life STEM experiences inspired me to take a bold step towards my future. Today, I am proud to have graduated from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) with a Bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Technology in 2024. The skills and knowledge I gained from the program played a crucial role in shaping my academic journey and professional aspirations.

I am grateful to FUES for empowering young girls like me and creating a platform that nurtures talent, builds confidence, and opens doors to limitless opportunities in STEM. I hope to use my knowledge and skills to make a positive impact in the food industry and inspire other young girls to believe in their potential. Thank you, FUES, for being a beacon of hope for future scientists and innovators.
